How much British soldiers loving the town of Hameln will be clear if you read this report. Two years ago, the Hameln site was closed by the British Army but they keep coming back every year. So much good and great memories they have from Hameln.

The beginning did the boys of 65 Corps Support Squadron. They met on 10-12. June to jointly indulge the memories. The 1st evening starts with an BBQ on the Houseboat of the Hafenverein. The day after, robby Yates organized a bus to travel around old places. The 1st one was Gordon Barracks, then Wouldham Camp and at least a wee trip around the quarters, Hastenbeck and Afferde where the soldiers life with their families during their postings here in hameln. The evening was rounded with an “a la carte” dinner at Georges (Zum Schultheiss). On Sunday they met for a joint group photo on the stairs of the Hochzeitshaus. After the photo on the stairs most of them watched the Pied Piper game on the terrace. Together they strolled all even through the city drink some cup of coffee and talked about several things.

The 2nd REunion took part from 17-19. June 2016. Organized by David Thomson, Alexander Engelhardt and Roy Bloor gave his full support. Alexander organized that some of the veterans could sleep in Gordon Barracks. Gordon Wilson the chef of the Canteen in Gordon Barracks made a fantastic curry. The veterans were welcomed by Tjark Bartels the District Administrator. On Saturday there was a boat trip and certainly the veterans meet at the Bathtub for a beer or maybe two… :-) . On Sunday there was a very good BBQ at Georges (Restaurant Schultheiss) and the Royal Engineers said Farewell, but they will come back again!

The 3rd REunion took part on 15-17 July 2016. Gist organization by Dave Howard, the Chairman of the Royal British Legion in Hameln. The Reunion starts om Friday evening with an great BBQ at SG74 Sportsbar. Followed by a funny and special “Horse Racing Game” I didn’t saw before. On Saturday they went to Minden Training Area to visit the 23 Amphibious Tp RE. That was a great chance for the veterans to be one more time on the rigs. Capt.Mayers and his Troop talked to the Veterans about the situation here in Minden and about the capability of the Troop. The evening was another great meeting at the SG74 Sportsbar. Ralle Kämper does a very great Dinner for the lads. On Sunday there was a Curry Lunch and after that, some of the veterans listed the Winefest.

Let me say to all Veterans gf the REunions here in Hameln this year. I’m very proud to write your story and to keep your memories alive for the following generations. And I’m very proud so many of you helped and supported me in this! And I will be there on every REunion which took part in hamelin! Because of me, it could be on every weekend a REunion. Every meeting has his special highlight. For me it was very great to have three this year here, because I have had time enough to speak with many guys about there storys! Thanks a lot!
